The food is amazing and the atmosphere unrivalled. It sits right on the best bit of Pantai Cenang beach, amid palm trees and beautiful sands. My partner and I stayed next door at the Pelangi Beach Hotel, which was fine, but the food at Beach Garden was divine, we still have dreams about it now. The location is just true tropical paradise, food superb and cheap and the staff are kind and attentive. The resort also does basic rooms which I have been told are very good. We met people who are on second and third return visits to the resort, which speaks for itself.

I am almost loathed to reveal the Periwinkle, but feel I should in the interests of good travelling and helping their business! This is a real gem. I have stayed here three times and would go back tomorrow given the chance – I’ve also recommended it to friends and they have raved about it.

A small and laid back guesthouse – of the stylish and comfortable kind – it oozes charm. The building is a Victorian villa on the sea-front facing the Manly ferry – which is handy when making a dash for the boat into town. Tea and coffee are free all day, breakfast is included, there is a self catering kitchen and the rooms are beautifully decorated and finished.

The welcome is always warm but beware - they get booked up fast. Prices will depend on the room you take. They also own a sister guesthouse in Sydney – The Chelsea – which is well worth staying in for a more central city location.

18-19 East Esplanade, Manly
